Probably not.
It would have to be flashed.
You would need all the parameter to flash to Metro PCS.
THe ESN would then need to be added to their database.

CDMA phones are really locked to the carrier in a way that makes GSM look like a piece of cake.

Actually you're wrong. Metro pcs aka cricket doesn't bother with esn checks. You simply need to google a verizon to cricket esn coder, or simply call up metro pcs and they'll do it for you sometimes, after the phone is added, hit *22807 or *22809, and then you'll be half flashed, then you need to go to the programing menu using a program like lgdownload but for motorola and change the mms settings and wap settings to cricket.
So it would read wap.metropcs.com username yourphone#@metropcs.con, password: metropcs, sorry I can't write it all out but yeah, anything is possible and I've done almost all of it

The ESN Still needs to be added to their inventory.
I didn't say they checked the ESN but it needs to be added to their inventory.
Cricket/Metro has the ability to add most but not all phones.
You still need to access the service menus on the phone and upload a valid PRL.

You cannot always get things like MMS and internet to work reliably if they work at all.
There are only limited reports of Droids working with all features.

Yeah dont do it man. METRO sucks... I had metro for a year, dropped calls ALL THE TIME, echos, static, wouldnt get voicemails till hours later, I know 60 bucks a month for unlimited everyuthing. I had the samsung finesse and trust me ITS NOT WORTH IT.

Wrong again, there are many reports of droids working properly. All cdma phones can be added you just need the right meid format. I have personally flashed many many droids to cricket/metro pcs, I agree with the earlier comment, why would you put it on their service?

Initially all I was trying to say is that it's not as easy as just unlocking like a GSM phone.
There is technology for CDMA to use a removable subscriber module but neither Verizon or Sprint want to use it because it eliminate exclusives like the HTC Evo and the Droid X.

$60 a month isn't a whole lot better that the $69 on Sprint for unlimited + 450 to land lines.
I would go with Sprint over Metro because at least Sprint and Verizon have a roaming agreement.
Metro, even in the S.F. Bay Area where I live is spotty at best.
